Given all those prank calls Phillip was getting of a baby crying, his baby is soon to come on screen IMO. I also speculate Shawn went to visit Mimi during the timeperiod that he was supposed to attend that interview Phillip lined up for him. My best guess is Shawn is aware of Mimi's baby and is anxious for Mimi to return to Salem with the baby!

A Mimi recast will appear before an Abby recast, IMO. It is critical to Phillp's storyline, as well as Shawn and Belle's.

Jinxed, I am guessing you missed some episodes.

Shawn did do just that. He got a call from Mimi on the July 3 episode so and didn't go for the interview. He confessed to Belle last week some of what happened but told her he simply drove around. He didn't tell her he changed gears and went to Indianapolis. Hogan mentioned that he did go there and that Lauren is coming into play. I bet Shawn is involved in the phone calls and that will be a major foil to him and Belle.

Also, Philip and Mimi's baby comes into play big time next week (see other spoiler thread for more).
